1,060 kJ On A Food Label
A label line that reads “1,060 kJ per serve” only tells half the story. Divide by the serve size and you get the energy density, how much energy is packed into every 100 g of the food.
| Serving size | kJ per 100 g | kcal per 100 g | Energy density |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 g serve | 2,650 kJ | 633 kcal | high |
| 60 g serve | 1,767 kJ | 422 kcal | high |
| 100 g serve | 1,060 kJ | 253 kcal | medium |
| 150 g serve | 707 kJ | 169 kcal | medium |
| 250 g serve | 424 kJ | 101 kcal | low |
For example, if a 60 g serve contains 1,060 kJ, the food has about 1,767 kJ per 100 g, a high-density food, similar to biscuits, chips, chocolate, nuts and oils. Scale any pack to your portion with the food label calculator.
